Chapter 39 The Quarry
Zhang Yang was anxious to create an iron wall battle pattern, but there was actually another more important reason, that is, he wanted to take Wu Yuan to start the hero trial.
But hero trials can be very dangerous. In order to prevent yourself from dying in it, more ways to save your life are necessary.
For example, a spear of imprisonment with better quality, such as an armor and shield enchanted by the iron wall spell, such as enough magical power, which makes Zhang Yang obsessed with.
"Good news, we discovered a stone mine."
Just as Zhang Yang was standing in front of the Wood Demon Tower and preparing to start refining the demon blood again, a soldier ran back excitedly to report.
"What? In which direction and how far is it?"
When he was excited, he didn't care about refining the demon blood. Stone mines were very important. This was necessary for building a real castle and a wall, rather than a fortress made of soil and giant trees that are used now.
"Report to the village chief, it looks about sixteen or seventeen miles southeast, just in a valley with traces of mining. Captain Wu Yuan asked me to come back to report the news because he guessed that this might have been mined by the big horned deer."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang immediately understood, and a simple topographic map quickly appeared in his mind.
Ten days ago, he first appeared in the forest about five kilometers south of the village, and then he turned about two kilometers northwest to encounter the Spider Lord, where he spent the night encountering the Earth-Walking Wood Demon.
The direction where the earth-moving wood demon comes is northwest or directly north.
Their group fought fiercely with the Earth-Ring Wood Demon and finally killed them at about three kilometers southwest of the village. Then they encountered the deer demon there and finally fled to build a village.
Now, a quarry in the Deer Deer Deer Village was found six or seven kilometers southeast of the village. Does that mean that the Deer Deer Deer Village is actually in the east, southeast and south of the quarry?
Will the village of the werewolf also be within this range of no more than fifty kilometers?
"I have to go and see it myself. This matter is quite a bit. Although the village of the Deer Demon has been looted by the werewolves, there may be something to gain."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang immediately transferred four archers and four shield soldiers captains, and instructed Qin Yidao to lead the remaining 15 archers and captains to guard the fortress.
Outside the fortress, Zhang Yang reminded Liang Kuangle, the leader of the cutting team, and he also brought several shield soldiers to captains.
In addition, there are more than a dozen captain-level soldiers on the training ground and the residential area. With such force, you don’t have to worry about anything if you don’t encounter such powerful enemies as deer demons and werewolves village chiefs.
Then, Zhang Yang led nine soldiers to run wildly. At this time, there was no need to worry about encountering any little monsters. First, many of the little monsters nearby had been cleared out long ago, and second, it seemed that powerful villages were established, and many lonely little monsters did not dare to approach them at all.
Of course, this is not absolute. For example, Zhang Yang saw a level 4 black panther appearing on the tall tree canopy more than once on the road, and then turned around and ran away after seeing them, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"If all the monsters in this forest are deserters who survived the failure or erased after the Buried Village Order Bonders, or descendants of these deserters, then this will be fun."
Half an hour later, Zhang Yang and his party arrived at the valley smoothly. There was a very rare vegetation here. One side was Shitou Mountain and the other side was Tushan Mountain. The so-called quarry was built on Shitou Mountain. You can clearly see traces of being dug and dozens of huge rocks that were per meter square. These were all dug but they were not transported back.
Following these traces of excavation, you can see a simple road extending beyond the valley.
"Mr. Village Chief."
Wu Yuan came up and looked very excited. "I just took people to explore this road out of the valley. After leaving the valley, I continued to go south. After three or four miles, I walked around a hill. It was a large area of plains that were opened up, three miles wide from east to west and ten miles long from south to south. The village of the big horned deer was there. Because the view of the place was too wide, I did not dare to take the risk."
"As for this quarry, I also carefully investigated it. I think the miners here should be mountain monsters. Although I don't know how the big horned deer controls these mountain monsters. In addition, based on the traces here, we have determined that before yesterday, these mountain monsters that mined stones should still be there, but then they all left, and there were no traces of battle here."
"So I'm boldly guessing that they might have been recruited by the gnoll."
After listening to Wu Yuan's analysis, Zhang Yang nodded, "Let's go and see the legacy left by the deer demon."
Going south along the valley, there was indeed a trampled road. Looking at the traces, it has been at least a year.
More than ten minutes later, after walking around a hill, the front suddenly became clear, and there was a large open space.
It is flat and flat, probably close to ten square kilometers, but this open space has been clearly developed because traces of newly cut trees can be seen on the edge of the forest.
And in the middle of this flat ground, the first thing you see is a strange castle that has not yet been built. This castle and human castle are completely different concepts.
The latter castles are for defense and better defense, so they are quite strong and tall walls.
But the castle of Deer Deer Demon is different. There are three high towers in the middle and are surrounded by radiated stone walls, with about a dozen. If you look at it from the sky, ignore the three high towers, it looks like a pattern of light emitted by the sun.
There is no defense performance at all.
However, considering the physique of the big-horned deer and their single combat method, this design seems to be fine. Without any obstacles, heavy-armed deer antler cavalry can rush out like a tide, especially on such a large-scale plain, whoever comes and dies!
Zhang Yang observed it carefully for a few minutes, then rubbed the teeth. From a human point of view, the village of Big Horned Deer made him feel insecure.
He didn't even have the idea of going over and checking it out now.
"Wu Yuan, what do you think?"
"Report to the village chief, this place is a dangerous place for military strategists." Wu Yuan shook his head, and was also very cautious.
"Then withdraw!"
Zhang Yang was also decisive, but just as they turned around and left, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded in the woods a few miles away opposite him, like an earthquake. When they looked back, everyone was full of souls.
Two or three hundred heavy-armed cavalrymen rushed out of the dense woods, like a tide, smoke and dust rolling, which was extremely terrible.
"Run!"
Zhang Yang shouted, and he couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, he suppressed his curiosity. If he suddenly encountered these heavy-armed cavalrymen in the flat and empty space, then he would have to kneel down, not to mention that he had only a few dozen people, even hundreds of captain-level soldiers.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend!
The hundreds of heavy-armed deer antler cavalry rumbling to chase the edge of the forest, and stopped chasing them, but they were so proud that they screamed.
They are not stupid either. As soon as they enter the forest, it is hard to say whoever does it.
"It seems that the werewolf village chief didn't get much benefit here before. Thinking about the deer demon's death was so frustrating. Such a big foundation, if you are not careful for a moment, now you have all become a nest of wild monsters. What a lesson!"
